Hi Jean,
Thank you for the kind welcome....I have practiced yoga for close to 20 years and like you, following my experience with cancer I became a certified yoga instructor. I want to share the healing and joy of a yoga practice with others who are dealing with cancer. I will put something together for the website and share the site with my breast cancer group.
Namaste,
Susan

Jean,
I was part of a UCLA Yoga Breast Cancer survivor test program. I would like to find a yoga studio near my home in Arcadia that is part of the Yoga Bear program. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Mary Lou

Jean,
I know NOTHING about Yoga but I exercise every day. You suggested that I do the "Vinysana" style. Where do I find out about that style?
Janet

Hi, Jean! Thanks for the nice little friend note. Happy New Year, Peace, Blessings and Namaste.

Hi Jean,
I am so happy I can be part of Yoga Bear. Wishing you Peaceful and Joyful New Year!
Jola

Thanks for connecting. I am a yoga beginner and have been learning at home with a CD. I'm hoping I can find a class near where I live in DC to maybe connect with other breast cancer survivors who are interested in learning yoga.

Hi Jean ~ thank you for contacting me. I did manage to post our studio on the forum offering discounts on our classes at Everybody's Yoga in Lagrangeville, NY. How are you and what area are you located in?

Hi Jean:
I have had many students with Cancer - in all phases including recovery. I'd love to talk to more people about breast cancer recovery as well. Many people are unaware at the extreme limited mobility a woman (or man) has after breast cancer surgery.

Hi Jean,

As I began looking at your wall ,realized you were going for... the checkup...
yes... May you be lifted of all your thoughts that might burden and... breathe :)
Sending you thoughts of love and serenity

How are you Jean? I wanted to thank you for the information you gave me awhile back.

So you are correct... My regiment included oxalyplatin along with 5fu... And believe me I thought FU-- was appropritely named :) participated in an erbitux trial and luckily had the DNA which had success with the trials. What a time that all was. As of January 27th will be 3 yrs cancer free. YESSSSSSS. Wanted to send you this super little video to pass along to all it is inspiring! You'll have to copy and paste the link inyour browser.

Hi Jean,
Thanks for the welcome. I am looking forward to getting familiar with Yoga Bear. I really believe that yoga has the power to heal.
Best,
Letitia

Hi Jean, this site seems like a great way to connect with yoga instructors and/or students and share ideas and stories. thanks for reaching out. :) Namaste

Hey Jean! It might be best to send them to our LA chapter, since they have a ton of new participants. What do you think?

I practice yoga in my country (Brazil) and I admire everyone who takes the art of yoga to another!
Congrats to you!

blessings to you.

Thanks Jean. I have downloaded the podcast and will try it soon. My husband's friend gave me Healing Meditation by Kelly Howell. I like it alot b/c it's very soothing. I will definitely check out yoga. I'm already feeling the side effect of joint pains from the first chemo and I'm hoping yoga will help manage that pain.

Thanks for the welcome, Jean! I hope to be a convenience and a help as well as meeting others in the Brooklyn/NYC chapter!

Well, thanks Jean, for making friends.
When I read down the list I saw references to "colon." I thought, ";? ;?" but then saw the cancer word. Thirty years ago, right before we were ready to get married, my husband found out he had colon cancer. So I guess since then he's had a ;?
A section of his : was removed and replaced with a metal tube.
Colon cancer is tough, certainly not a joke, so I guess I saw : because it's a lot easier to bear. But you know there are many people who are treated for cancer and they do just fine.
Did I mention that 10 years ago I had cervical cancer?
That 5 years ago my husband had prostate cancer, unrelated to his original colon cancer?
And we are living happy and fine. ;)

Take care,
Lynn

Thank you, Jean... the link is indeed the same as the page for the colon list I was asking you about... thank you for the confirmation of that. And I did sign up and am receiving the posts. Again, many thanks. MA
